The poem goes:
When you drink a Qualitätswein
you will never be a loser
it just means the wine is fine
for the fairly choosy boozer.
When the Bestattungsunternehmer
takes the butcher and the baker
he is not a loud proclaimer
but a quiet undertaker.

My love is far from here
I sense in my dreams
that she's dreaming of me
far off in that country
dreaming that we shall
once more sing our old song
We'll sing in harmony
longing for the day
when harmony can soothe our sorrows
and make us smile to think
that harmony can soother our sorrows
dreams far off.

This setting for Christmas represents the cold of a Northern winter
(the cruel wind blows)
although of course the actual events took place in rather warmer climes.
It also reflects much of the liturgical and popular symbolism of the Christmas season: robins, holly etc and it brings our thoughts towards the season of Easter with the blood of Good Friday.

Music by David Warin Solomons
Performed by the Composer's Choir under Dan Shaw
In deep dusk, in deep dusk green,
the crescent moon's an air of shell sheen,
shot through with curvèd light
and clear ...
polished the shells that gleam like her.
